I want you to live your wedding day - like really LIVE it. Dive in, soak it up, and lose yourself in it. And while you're doing that I'll be creating a rad set of wedding photographs driven by the real, honest moments that unfold naturally when you are left to live and experience your time freely with friends and family. Not one to hide in a corner and work as an outsider, I put my open personality and sense of humor to full use to make quick friends of you and your family, and to break down any barriers to authenticity.

I live in Fresno with my incredible wife Leslie, and our two wonderful children - Jack and Merrill. We're accompanied by our two dogs; a Pit-Something-or-Other bundle of electricity, love, and affection named Scout and a Labrador-Doesn't-Retriever-Anything-Mutt named Kona whose idea of a good time is a long nap before a good night's sleep.
Funny story, when Lexington and Jared started looking for a wedding venue, Lexington's mom (or someone in the family) said "Why don't we just make a venue?" and so they bought a farm! It was a very, very cool spot and I hope it comes about to be a full wedding venue in Fresno because it has sooooo much going for it!
When Cristina got in touch with me, I was super stoked. I photographed her brother's wedding a few years ago, and a few other relatives and friends in between and excited to get back to Chowchilla and see everyone again. In the spirit of beating the heat, we headed up towards Shaver Lake to a little grove of Giant Sequoias followed by some time in the meadows along the road.
Here is a senior session from downtown Fresno. Kylee graduates from Central this year - go Grizzlies! So, as life gets busy for the seniors around the valley, with finals, prom, and graduation, I hope you take a little break to peek at a selection of my favorites from an evening spent enjoying the textures and colors downtown!

We would not have had our wedding without Mark. Not only did he take amazing photos, he helped us find a new location just days before our wedding was due to take place! Mark was very communicative and understood our vision for our wedding. He was able to find us a site in Kings Canyon National Park that was even better than our original plan! Mark walked the entire Zumwalt Meadow loop with us taking pictures along that way that we will cherish for our lifetime! We can't even begin to thank Mark enough, for helping us navigate a last minute change to capturing our perfect day so brilliantly.

Mark was fantastic to work with and the pictures we received are unreal! I'm glad we had Mark as a resource when planning our wedding in Yosemite. He helped us with every step of planning. For our big day he helped make everything a breeze. We received our pictures in only a few weeks and they are so beautiful and really tell the story of how our wedding went!

Mark is one of the most talented photographers I know. His images are always full of emotion and authenticity that is rare to find in wedding photography. He is also great at keeping the experience of being photographed light hearted and fun with his easy going personality and humor. You won't regret working with Mark!
